This Online MBA program was designed to be taken by part-time students throughout the Commonwealth and the world. At least two classes will be offered online each semester. If two classes are taken each fall, spring, and summer, students will graduate in two years. All courses will be available through Desire to Learn (D2L), although instructors may include other technologies as well. The core courses (24 credit hours) establish a well-rounded base of business knowledge in seven areas of accounting, economics, finance, marketing, operations, and strategy & organizational behavior. Students are permitted five elective courses. Four of the courses (12 credits) are targeted electives in analytics and innovation, reflecting our mission to develop analytical and innovative business professionals. Students are permitted to have one free elective course in another business elective or they may use this elective for a directed study or internship for credit.
